Toyosatomimi no Miko is a character in the Touhou Project series introduced in its 13th installment, Ten Desires.
Miko was once Prince Shoutoku, a Japanese leader in the 600s known for promoting Buddhism and streamlining the Japanese government. In the Touhou lore, she was visited by Taoist hermit Seiga Kaku, who had heard about Miko’s longing for immortality. Seiga introduced her to Taoism, but she rejected it as a religion unfit for placating an entire country. She was intrigued by its promise of immortality, however, and privately converted to it, advocating for Buddhism to keep Japan stable. After drinking an “immortality elixir” (mercury sulfide), however, she was forced to let go of her body and become a supernatural hermit like Seiga, notably taking on the form of a woman, making her a canonically trans character (
).
After convincing a hermit from a rival clan (Mononobe no Futo) to sleep without decaying, Miko followed in suit, waiting for a time where a Taoist Japan would revive her in search of guidance. However, Buddhist monks were able to keep her mausoleum sealed, and the legends surrounding her were slowly brushed off- which led to her transportation into Gensokyo, where the folklore of old is a reality of everyday life.
When she awoke in Gensokyo, it was right after Buddhist monk Byakuren Hijiri opened her own temple, however, leading to a surge of divine spirits across the realm, setting up the events of Ten Desires.
What look like headphones on her are canonically earmuffs- Shoutoku was allegedly able to discern between ten questions asked at once, an ability carried by Miko (although with her enhanced abilities, she can also analyze each person and determine their inner desires (thus the title of the game))- although it means her hearing is highly sensitive and has to be muffled to prevent pain.

Figuring stuff out

So this is me, I do not want to ever lose my hair, I've had it long for a long time and I enjoy how feminine it makes me feel me even if I otherwise look and feel anything but. I just wanna be pretty but I'm so scared but also kinda numb? Even though I think most of the people in my life would be accepting. I don't really have anyone to talk to about it so advice or nice emojis are welcome
___If you want to be pretty/feminine and keep your hair just take the E
There is even stuff you can take to not grow boobs if that’s your concern.
SERMs, if you need something to look up
Please tell me more, because I asked a friend of mine who's a doctor about them, and she advised against it because they were too experimental. I also asked my endo and she wasn't familiar with them and was going to do more research.
I just want to be cute, and not have massive knockers! Is that so much to ask?!
Yeah I'm not the person to ask here. I just know that they're a thing
If you want to take E for 4 years and get zero boobs garrenteed, just be me :)
I don't know if I have advice, but that was me not too long ago.
More nice emoji
That was me once, and it still kinda is. I didn’t handle it well, so I don’t know if I can give you advice, but I know how it feels. It gets better, it’s cliche but it does. One day you’ll be pretty and happy and you won’t have to worry about losing your hair, you’ll keep it forever, and you’ll have people who accept and love you for who you are. It’s scary and hard but so wonderful and so worth it and I know you can do it.
